Top Esports will have side choice when they meet with T1 in the third quarterfinal of League of Legends World Championship 2024 on Saturday.
The defending champions lost to Top Esports in the opening round of the LoL Worlds Swiss Stage. However, top LoL betting sites have them priced as favourites for the rematch.
While T1 have looked better lately, that does not mean they are in top form. The series against G2 Esports could have easily extended to the third map, but Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok and co. played a competitive game against Bilibili Gaming.
Top Esports made it to the playoffs without major issues, beating T1, Fnatic, and Dplus KIA. Their loss against Gen.G mainly came down to TES opting for an early-mid composition, which did not work out for the LoL Pro League (LPL) representatives.
Even though Top Esports look more than capable of beating T1, the same can be said the other way around. Besides some questionable results from the latter stages of the season, T1 remain a serious threat to win the Summoner’s Cup and have not shown many weaknesses at LoL Worlds 2024.
They were a bit lucky to sweep G2 Esports, and knowing how shaky Bilibili Gaming are, T1’s victory against China’s No.1 team might not mean much on paper. Still, T1 are very good in the early game, boasting a tournament-high +2225 gold difference at 15 minutes (GD@15).
The Korean giants also navigate the mid-late game much better than Top Esports, but a more significant factor to consider here is that Bai “369” Jia-Hao and his crew are not that good at fighting from behind.
It is fair to feel doubtful about T1, as we have not seen the best of them for months. Yet even now, when they are not playing at 100%, they’ve shown enough to suggest they can beat Top Esports this time around.
